yeah. 16" OZ super leggaras, and it's on Coilovers just now.

I like the low look and it does handle well, just gotta watch out for stuff not to hit!

A guy on the Uk CRX forum just got 209bhp at the wheels and 248bhp at the flywheel from his B16 turbo CRX-i'd love to go this route.

Are you a drag race guy or a track race guy or only street?

drag/street=go for as much power as you can

track=get some poly bushings, bigger brakes, LSD, or maybe build the head.

If anybody is interested I have recently opened a new bussiness and can get racing parts cheaper than the lowest price you can find. Please email me if anybody is interested. Thanks.

Thanks for the comments, it's a 1991 JDM SiR (not uk or europe) it was imported in 1999 and it's one of the rarest colours that the CRX came in. It's called pewter grey.

If you value your suspension like I do, Do not invest in poly bushings. They do not flex correctly and lead to binding which ultimately screws up your suspension.

if u ain't use it on track and u got already superlegerras and coilovers, go for turbo

DIY jobs

you either have to cut down civic turn-signals or make new covers out of plastic/perspex
